Led by the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, a total of about two hundred Americans drew a 'line in the sand' at the Navy Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. today, where nine months earlier the Communist/anarchists had assaulted the memorial by trying to tear down the flags and signals on the masts there during the inaugural parade of President George W. Bush. With America...

Two separate backgrounds --- Teaching With Documents: The Zimmermann Telegram - Background (archives.gov)Between 1914 and the spring of 1917, the European nations engaged in a conflict that became known as World War I. While armies moved across the face of Europe, the United States remained neutral. In 1916 Woodrow Wilson was elected President for a second term, largely because of the slogan "He kept us out of war." Events in early 1917 would change that hope. In frustration over the effective British naval blockade, in February Germany broke its pledge to limit submarine warfare. In response to the breaking of...

As one soldier, his uniform in tatters through years of bloody combat, charged the hill toward another man wearing Army's colors, neither could have fully imagined what was at stake that day. Even the name of the town held no special meaning for either -- it was just another meaningless Pennsylvania town. But Gettysburg certainly has meaning today, just as Bunker Hill, Iwo Jima and Normandy were special. What was at stake, on the hills at Gettysburg and the beaches at Normandy, was freedom. Freedom and liberty are a couple of those words that are difficult to understand -- until...

[Excerpts:]You would think that a party at a police officer's house, full of off-duty police officers, would be among the safest places to have fun. Frank Jude, 26, doesn't think so. The Milwaukee-area man had been invited by another guest to such a party on Oct. 24, 2004. He left cuffed and savagely beaten. "It looked like a bomb had went off in Frank's face," said Kirsten Antonissen, who accompanied him to the party. Jude's pants were also cut off his body. He says he was kicked repeatedly in the groin, his fingers were yanked back and a pen was...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States and China want to expand trade regulations to protect Asian yew trees, a plant that provides the compound for one of the world's top-selling chemotherapy drugs but is threatened by poaching. Chinese herbalists have used trees of the taxus species, also known as yew trees, for centuries to treat common ailments.

Taxol, whose...

Microsoft's vested interest in the SCO case v. Linux authors and users and re-sellers, is on the surface, primarly aided by Al Gore's attorney, David Boies. Boies is the trial lawyer who tried to subvert our Constitution and the rule of law, by forcing into court, the 2000 national election for President. (That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!) Given that David Boies and Vice-Presidential maybe-candidate John Edwards are of the same trial lawyer's cloth, what are the odds that Microsoft will support John Edwards for Vice-President, or even President, in exchange --- the deal --- for the destruction...
